: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Henrik Munkeby N°rsteb° and Daniel Lercher met in the Czech :,
: country side in 2010, as part of an improvising orchestra :
:' comprised of Austrian, Czech and Norwegian musicians, and ':
,: started working as a duo shortly after. Finding common ground in :,
: fine grained and slow pulsed music, the duo went through a :
:' research period, striving to develop a common material void of ':
,: all things unnecessary, where the impact of acoustic and :,
: electronic sound elements were truly balanced. While N°rsteb° :
:' refined his arsenal of hisses, bass tones and pulsations with ':
,: the use of close up amplification and physical micro :,
: adjustments, Lercher programmed a software that enabled him to :
:' analyze N°rsteb°'s sound spectrum in real time, processing the ':
,: data through electronic synthesis-methods (sine waves, :,
: resonators, filtered noise..) to create a tightly matching :
:' output, still leaving the amplified acoustic trombone ':
,: unaltered. The result was released as ½TH_X╗ in 2014. :,
: :
:' ôOff the coastö is the duo's second album, and was produced ':
,: during two intensive weeks in Norway and Austria, October 2017. :,
: Taking the chance to undertake a week long residency on a remote :
:' island outside of Trondheim, the duo invited harpist Julie ':
,: Rokseth and headed to Sula, a tiny piece of land off the coast :,
: and in the Norwegian sea. In its heyday, a fishing community :
:' with close to 500 inhabitants, now home to around 60 permanent ':
,: residents (that have a broad verbal spectrum for describing wind :,
: and it's changing character). Arriving by boat with a clean :
:' slate, the duo decided to start by exploring and recording ':
,: sound material from Rokseth's baroque harp, as well as :,
: researching the best way to record her ôwind harpö, an :
:' instrument of nineteen strings that when held at an angle in ':
,: the right amount of wind starts playing it's own spectral song. :,
: :
:' By slowly letting the new material unfold and layering a range ':
,: of sound sources in addition to the duo's regular setup, it soon :,
: became clear that the physical impact of the islands grounded :
:' people, intense weather and striking 360 degree ocean view ':
,: would affect the music more than anticipated. Deciding to quite :,
: literally represent the experience by adding elemental field :
:' recordings and keeping the birds chirping along with the wind ':
,: harp, the project also was fortunate to involve a surprise :,
: guest, Aksel Johansen, a man in his 80's and a ôSula originalö. :
:' As people here commonly do, he stopped by unannounced several ':
,: times to see what was going on. Locally well known for his good :,
: stories and honest voice, he contributed a rendition of the :
:' ôSula songö, which resonates well with the origin of the ':
,: islands name, ôsomething that's rising from the oceanö. :,
